I don't think that anyone has ever denied that there are people in Cyprus of Greek ancestry. Cyprus' problem has been those of Greek ancestry who have denied and tried to exclude those of Turkish ancestry.

I don't think it is possible to deny those of Turkish ancestry as it is also not possible to deny those of Hellenic ancestry.

The key and emphasis should be on tolerance and to accept the cultural diversity that is unique in Cyprus.

But do the Turks tolerate a predominately Hellenic Cyprus?

Sorry Paphitis, either a consociational democracy which allows equal ruling power for 2 main communities of Cyprus or 2 seperate states. We have never been a minority in Cyprus and we don't want to be...

I was not talking about a Governance structure.

I was referring to the fact that Turks can't tolerate a Cyprus that is predominately Hellenic and would prefer to eradicate Hellenism from the island.

You have successfully achieved this on 37% of the island by ethnically cleansing 200,000 Cypriots and now you want a 50% share over the whole island and control the northern sector fully. This is not going to happen.

Turks aren't the only ones who laugh at Slavic mongrel claims of self-aggrandizement!

After all, they’re the ones who injected the Ottoman blood in your Slavic veins to form the modern Mongrel “Greek”!

I think Insan is colour blind! Your map shows Cyprus as Greek ancestry....

And what about the modern mongrel Choirokitians that are going to become more Turk than Atta himself.....

The Turks are laughing at you GR! and rubbing their grubby hands together. Good job.

How does it feel to capitulate to Turkey's will while Greece innocently looks on?

Jesus,

What are you playing at with this map. I bet Ireland and Scotland are happy!

How about Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc, etc - I'd forget about that map if I were you.

Once again, proof that most Greek Cypriot dismiss the REALITIES of TODAY'S WORLD, regardless of how it's been shaped; whether through forced partition, war or amicably.

Let's view the world as it stands today, including the Self-determined NEW states broken off from Russia!

Have a good day!

Weird In 1916 Cyprus was ethnically Turks.

No you scribbler with some yellow highlighter ... it was ethnically British according to your (doctored) "map"; you used the same yellow there's a little drop on the bottom right hand corner on the label! ... Besides, didn't all your Turkish ancestors run off to Turkey because their motherland (which wasn't officially so in 1916 anyway, Mr Hysterical revisionist ), was on the wrong side of WWI and you were frightened of what revenge the Brits might enact upon you. ..... You're all illegal settlers now aint'cha!

As long as Hellenes tolerate a Cyprus partly Turkic, why shouldn't Turks tolerate a Cyprus predominately Hellenic? Did Ottomans attempt to eradicate Hellenism from Cyprus during 400+ years of their rule? Or they restored Orthodox church that allowed ur priests to enhance and maintain Hellenic culture in Cyprus?

Turks didn't ethnically cleanse 150.000 GCs from north of the island. U better blame EOKA-B and beside "majority rule" supporters that are directly related with the exchange of populations and creation of 2 zones on Cyprus. In the begining of the British Rule Turks were 1/3 of the population, this means land belongs to Turkish Cypriots shouldn't be less than 1/3 of the island. In 1977 TC leadership offered to GC leadership restitution of 5% of the land(Varosha) that would allow abt 40.000 refugees to return their lands and properties. All or nothing stance of ur leadership rejected this offer.

Insan,

By August of 1974, most GC's in the north were forced to leave by the Turkish army. What was left was a few thousand GC's in Karpasia which were cut off by the advancing Turkish army. The 'exchange of populations' as you put it was a demand by Turkey to forcefully move the tens of thousands of TC's in the south to the north in exchange for the few GC's that were left after the invasion. Your distortion of facts is breathtaking!
